Hoping To Make A Lap Band Buddy!



Recommended Posts

I schedule my official surgery date this Wednesday and cannot wait! Hoping I can make a friend around my age (22) who will also be banded soon...everyone who I've told about my surgery for the most part is supportive, but I was hoping to find someone who actually understands what I will be going through.. I'm from Louisiana (Baton Rouge area) but it doesn't really matter to me where you're from... =)

Hey there MrsMyers! I was banded on12/14 so it sounds like I am a bit ahead of you but I still have a million questions and thoughts that pop up! Im not quite 22 (32) but would be glad to vent to you and vice versa along the way! Good luck!

MrsMyers,

Welcole to LBT..I would love to be a lapband buddy..I've been banded for 3 yrs.. Just this last yr i went on a gaining spree and now i got to get what i gained back off.. I have a LapBand group on Facebook that has 117 people in it and some are veterans from here.. It has an active forum so you can ask any questions you want and get a good educated answer.. If you would like to join or have any questions just PM me anytime..I just don't say i've really gained in there because it's a little embarrassing...LOL

Just seen your from Lousianna....Gotta say it:::::ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!!!!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
